Q: Has anyone had problems with the pump? I am not able to get much if any product out even If I put a lot!

submitted by Curious - 4 months ago

  • A: Hello! The Vitamin C Serum features an airless pump, which differs from other Vanicream products. The first time the pump is activated, it evacuates any small amounts of air that may have been left

  • A: behind during filling. Once the air is evacuated and the tube is primed, it becomes an airless system (unless the cap is unscrewed, in which case you need to prime and evacuate the air again). This

    Noticable improvment

    I've been using this everyday for about a year and have noticeable improvements in my skin texture and tone. It's gentle, effective, and doesn't irritate my rosacea and psoriasis. One tube lasts me about a month and a half using once a day.

    Only 2 weeks into use but hasn’t broken out my sensitive acne prone skin or caused any irritation at all. The scent is slightly off putting but fades quickly. No brightening effect yet but that’s not surprising since it hasn’t been long.

    Glowing!!

    Added to my morning routine and have been using for a couple of weeks now. This stuff rocks! My skin has an even, hydrated glow, and I noticed some fading of my dark spots already. I’ve even seen an improvement in my skin texture and breakouts. Definitely a new staple in my skincare routine!

    I am really liking this vitamin C face serum so far. I have only been using it for about a week, so I haven't seen significant results yet. I love the texture and the tube with the pump. The serum spreads easy and a small amount goes a long way. I also wear a sunscreen serum over this and the two work well together. My makeup wears beautifully over both products, in fact, it seems to last longer. I am hoping to see visible results soon.

    Less is More

    I have sensitive skin. If your skin is overly sensitive already, u should do a small patch on ur neck first & leave it over night. Gradually go up to small areas of ur face, if nothing happens. I do not mix this with other strong actives. I use this daily every AM then layer with a light moisturizer & sunscreen. 1-2x a week, i do treat my skin with a more potent vit C. Overall, my skin glows like “I look oily, but my face isn’t oily” kind of glow Want to add that I exfoliate & use strong ingredients some days so this vit C serves its purpose for me— it is gentle & works well for when i am giving my skin a little break. I’ve struggled with closed comedones & hormonal acne. Never broke out with this one. For the price, it’s SO worth it.

    Simple & Effective Vitamin C for Sensitive Skin

    Love this vitamin c serum! I have sensitive skin that often breaks out with vitamin c. This lovely formula has not caused any irritation or breakouts. It glides on smoothly and dries very quickly. Works well under moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup. No pilling for me. I often layer it under The Ordinary Azelaic acid followed by One Skin topical treatment prior to the the rest of my morning products and have experienced zero issues. It’s a simple & effective vitamin c for sensitive skin!
